Concatenation of a fixed string and a field?

**Brenn** · July 4th, 2005, 16:53

I was wondering how you might concatenate a fixed string and a field. Basically I want the hotkey for Ride to show "Ride(Whatever)" when the value is drug onto it instead of just "Ride" or just "Whatever". In other words I want it to be:

Code:

<description text="Ride&#40;" />

+

Code:

<description field="ridename" />

+

Code:

<description text="&#41;" />

Perhaps I'm being a bit dense here but I can't figure out how to do this.

Bump

This is really frustrating me!

At the moment, you can't really do this. The string you drag can only be obtained directly from one description label.

You should see some new features implemented during this fall that will allow it, but I can't elaborate on this before Thursday... :twisted:

After thinking about this... He might have meant

"Thursday at GenCon". Hopefully they will post any news here as well.
